Cashaa’s Gaurav shared with news.Bitcoin.com that the roadshow is an “initiative to bring back the Indian crypto industry together after the huge damage,” due to the banking restriction imposed by the central bank.
The roadshow document describes: “In the recent supreme court hearing, it became clear that crypto is not illegal in India. It was nearly two years ago that the Reserve Bank of India clamped down on a fast-growing market for cryptocurrencies in the country. That impacted the cash on-ramp for the crypto market in India even though there is no legal ban on their use in the country.” The Supreme Court of India quashed the RBI ban on the crypto industry on Wednesday.
Cashaa’s CEO added: Many government organizations such as law enforcement (police) and municipal corporations are also joining this drive, to educate citizens about the bitcoin and bring awareness to protect people from scams crypto. After the holiday (12/03/2020) we are expecting huge participation from the other organization and regulators such as Income Tax, SEBI to be part of this program.
